My
name is Jennifer Hopper and I have the privilege of teaching the Enrichment
program which is designed to teach and challenge the population of students who
are identified as gifted.

Our
program which addresses the needs of grades 1 – 8 is structured as a “Pull-out”
program of both acceleration and enrichment. Gifted children are pulled from
their regular classroom, one day a week, from 12:45 till 3:00 to participate in
mini studies. These studies require increased depth and accelerated work. The
students complete their studies using a contractual agreement which include expectations
for: Leadership, presentation, research, technology and writing. Studies have
shown that gifted learners must be given stimulating educational experiences
appropriate to their level of ability if they are to realize their potential.
At
ICS, we believe that the environment should not only be student-centered but
also Christ- centered. Jesus tells us in Luke’s gospel: “Much will be required
of everyone who has been given much and even more will be expected of the one
who has been entrusted with more.”
Our
group of gifted students has been blessed with much and we at ICS are simply
giving each the opportunity to discover and experiment the talents God has
given them through a variety of cognitive skills so they may serve Jesus
better.
If you
have any questions about Enrichment, please feel free to contact me or come by
and see what all the excitement is about.
